Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Anyone feeling 3rd/4th quarter blues?

Lori, your son's comment made me smile. Rock on!!

I've been getting all of my "summer curriculum over the last week or so. I've got many different grade levels and subjects going on this summer. It's making me antsy to get started!

Well, we're homeschoolers, yet I have been feeling way too busy of late. There's hardly time for academics with all of the other stuff we have been doing.

I'm looking ahead to summer, and thinking that maybe it's not so bad if the kids don't have a lot of camp stuff happening.

Down under, I've got the end of Term 1 blues...Only 1 more sleep til holidays and I'm declaring it (inter-)national pj day on Friday, as I fully expect the kids and I to loll around in jammies all day!!! The grade skips have gone well, generally speaking, although both girls are asking for more maths. But it seems that the honey-moon period is wearing off, particularly for Miss 4 *sigh* who wants more maths, spelling, science, sightwords, homework sheets, reading, gymnastics and craft! Sounds like we're in for a busy holiday period!!! jojo
